Hello Cine fans....
I have just been to see Infamous, the second of two films about how Truman Capote came to write In Cold Blood. Now I can compare Capote to Infamous whereas most of you cannot. In short, go see it. It has points that are very similar to Capote but a lot of the film is seen from different viewpoints. Toby Jones won't get the Best Actor for his portrayal of Capote (he is still excellent though) but Sandra Bullock should receive recognition for her turn as Nell Harper Lee. A pleasant surprise for me was the performance of Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) as Perry Smith, one of the killers in the book. Infamous alludes to more of romantic relationship between Smith and Capote including a kiss between the two characters. What James Bond is kissing a man???? How can that be? There are some fun cameos from Gwyneth Paltrow (she sings), Isabella Rossellini, Sigourney Weaver, Peter Bogdonavitch, Juliet Stevenson and Hope Davis, including one scene where some of the characters teach the twist to the others. It probably won't stay in the theatres for very long so if you don't go see it, well at least rent it.
Other quick comments:
Little Miss Sunshine: go see it. Excellent cast. There are a couple of scenes that are similar to National Lampoons' Vacation but these are better written. The scene with Rick James' song "Super Freak" is not to be missed.
Hollywoodland: Go see it because Bob Hoskins, Diane Lane and Adrian Brody are terrific. The real reason to see the flick though is for Ben Affleck who is outstanding. He immerses himself in the role and you forget all about Jennifer Lopez.
Pirates of the Caribean 2: It's fun. Not as good as the first but fun nonetheless. Besides it has Johnny Depp in it? What more can you ask?
If you ever get a chance to see Ronny Burkett, the puppeteer, go see him. He is pheonomenal! Plus he's Canadian.
That's it for now... ta ta ...
